Tony Award winner Ben Platt and Molly Gordon star in the original comedy ‘Theater Camp’ as Amos and Rebecca-Diane – lifelong best friends and drama instructors at a rundown camp in upstate New York. When clueless tech-bro Troy (Jimmy Tatro) arrives to run the property (into the ground), Amos, Rebecca-Diane and production manager Glenn (Noah Galvin) band together with the staff and students, staging a masterpiece to keep their beloved summer camp afloat. ‘Theater Camp’ was co-directed by Molly Gordon & Nick Lieberman.
From the trailer it feels like they are taking a page from Wet Hot American Summer but with a different approach which I can appreciate it. The film took home an award from Sundance and was an official selection of the SXSW Film Festival.
